Abu Bakr al-Siddiq: The Successor of the Prophet - Part 1

Family Background ~ Dr. Yasir Qadhi

Abu Bakrs real name is Abdullah Ibn Uthman , (his real Name: Abdullah Ibn Uthman IbnAmir Ibn Kaab Ibn Saad Ibn Taym Ibn Kaab Ibn Murra Ibn Luay, ) - as-Siddiq is his title (not hisname) and he meets with the Prophet (saw) with the 6th Grandfather and that is Kaab IbnLuay (so the Prophet Mohammad (saw) and Abdullah Ibn Uthman goes back 6th Generationback to the same person, so Abu Bakr is a Qureshi and his subtribe is Banu Taym (not the bignames of the Quraysh), and it is said that Abu Bakr was born with the name Abdul Kaaba (hisfather called him Abdul Kaaba) but when he embraced Islam, the Prophet (saw) changed it toAbdullah,o Abu Bakr is a "Laqab" a Nickname that was given by his father, that was common tonickname the son, (that is not his Qunya, because he dont have son that is called Bakr,simply a title, and he was none even in Jahilia as Abu Bakr) Bakr means: the youngenergetic camel, (that is the sign of the arab, the yong male camel, (and that is a phrase:"Abi Bakr Ta Ebihim" and the Abu Bakr is common and it is still common, Abu Bakrindicated that he is going to be welthy, have lots of camels, basicalliy who controlls thisyoung camels, and this name stuck in Jahiliya and in Islam,o And the title of his father was Abu Quhafa, he is name was Uthman (Abdullah ibnUthman) and his title was Abu Quhafa (spelled Quhafa with a Damma) Abu Quhafaaccept Islam at the Conquest of Makkah, and while in the Makkan Face and Madinanface he clearly was not a Muslim and he had phrases of Harshness, he doesnt appear onof the blaitent enemies of Islam, like Umamayah, Abu Sufyan (when he was converted)he has even harsh words, in the Story of the Hijra (we remember) he got irritated atAsma (his grand daughter) when she found out that Abu Bakr had taken all of theMoney and Asma was hidding this from him, he slapped Asma across the Face and hesaid Bad things about the Prophet (saw), so he was Angry (the Anger was because hisson doesnt have left Money for the Family) he did have some negative statementsabout the Prophet (saw) but his animosity was not open and that harsh as the animosityof other from the Quraish and he didnt accept Islam, the Story of his Islam is well knowthat he accept Islam at a very old Age maybe 90 years old, that he is Half Blind and cantwalk anyomre, and he is carried on a stranger he was put on a shield and carried to theProphet (saw) and the Prophet (saw) said that famous Phrase "La Tarqta bin Shaykh BinBay" "Why you leave the Shaykh at home, we would come to him" and Abu Bakr said: "Itis more befitting that we come to you" and Prophet (saw) made Dua for him andstapped on his Heart" and said "Asslim Tusslim" Accept Islam, Allah will be merciful toyou, he accepted Islam after all of those years and Prophet (saw) congratulated AbuBakr, you father has embaraced Islam, and at that time Abu Bakr has began crying andsaid that "I willing give ethis up", "I wish that Abu Talib, where here, instat of my ownfather" - that was the love he had for the Prophet (saw) , and at that conversion story aswell he said that famous Hadith which is in Bukhari and Muslim: "Diy it some color,(because he had white hair), but avoid pure Black" - That the Sunnah of Prophet (saw),the Mother of Abu Bakr is Salma Binte Sakhar, the mother excepted Islam very early, (itwas in the early Makkan stage);

Abu Bakr is described from many Eyewitnesses as: he had light complexion, whitish brown(abiad) , light brown, white skin (asfar), tall and extremely skinny (many narration are that hewas thin, he dont have flesh), his izar (his belt) kept on always slipping ,razor straight, wedont know so much about his early life, but there is something that stands out from thecrowd of them, there are explicit reported in many seerahs and hadith: that Abu Bakr was themost knowledgeable of the Sahaba regarding "ILM UL ANSAAB" - the Science of Gyneology(this branch of Islamic Knowledge is the least studied of all of the Branches of Islamicknowledge, it is almost a forgotten science, it is not taught at any university), to be an Arab is abloodline, every single Arab is somehow related to an other Arab, every Arab go back to Adnan

and Kahtaan and every Single Arab go back to this People, but who is goanna interconnect,that is ILM UL ANSAAB, and incl. Wth ILM UL ANSAAB is a muarriq historian, it is not just anasab (genealogy) that also what happened (the history, battle, tragedys etc.) ,

And it happened many times, when Prophet (saw) go and give Dawah to a Tribe, he took AbuBakr As-Siddiq (r.a) with him and asks him, who are this people, what I need to know aboutthem, what are the specialties, Abu Bakr was the personal Ansaab (the historian, geneologist)of the Prophet (saw), that is in the famous incident of Hassan ibn Thabit , when the Qurayshwrote a satirical point against the Prophet (saw) and stand up and respond to this point, Gibreelwill help you, and Hassan said: "I dont know anything about the Quraysh, what to say and whatnot to say" and Prophet (saw) said: "Abu Bakr stand up, and go with him and thell him all he needsto know", Abu Bakr (r.a.) was chosen, you give the fact, and Hassan you give the Poem, thatsteamwork,

Ibn Hajar narrates that Abu Bakr was most beloved of the Nasaboon (of the Quraysh) because henewer uttered a vulgarity, or a bad thing to anybody, he never mentioned that type of stuff, nevera vulgarity, that type of stuff, he overlook it, and everybody only hear the good about his tribe, ofcourse Abu Bakr knew this stuff, but it was not his nature, to go and smear other people, incontrast to other geneologyst who would smear others and boost their own, Abu Bakr was a fearand neutral person, so the people loved him for this: there is a hadith ( narrated in Tirmidhi, Vol 6,Hadith No 3660) that the Prophet (saw) said: "'From those who were most beneficial to me amongthe people in their companionship and their wealth was Abu Bakr. And If I were to take a Kahlil , Iwould have take Abu Bakr as a Khalil" So the Prophet (saw) testified of the knowledge of Abu BakrAs Siddiq (r.a.).

Also of the things that we know from even before Islam have was of a chased, dignified and decentcharacter, Ibn al-Asyuti (the famous historian) mentioned that Abu Bakr (r.a.) even before comingto Islam he never drank Alcohol, he never engaged in premarital FAHISHA and he never veneratedan Idol, thats very rare for the Pre-Islamic Arabs, and Abu Bakr was one of the few peoples thatdoesnt do that things, there is a report from Aysha (r.a.) there she mentions here father: "AbuBakr made Khamr haram on himself even before Islam, because one Abu Bakr passed by (as ayoung man) a drunker on the street, and he put his hand in defication on the street and his handwas full of this and he was waving in the air, and the disgusting thing is coming from his hand, eventhough he was a young man, he said i dont trink khamr", Wallahi we ask that ourselves, why wouldyou act like this, when you drink it, why would you put yourself in that situation,.

Once he was giving a talk to the Sahaba (after the death of Prophet Mohammad (saw) in his Khilafa,he mentioned something about himself, he said: "I never prostrated to an Idol in my life" and hetold the story, that "When I came to an age, my father took me to the Temple in Makkah (the IdolTemple) and he told me that there are your Gods, you most whorshipp them and he left me withthem" and Abu Bakr said: "I went to one of the Idols and said Im hungry, feed me" but the Idoldidnt do anything, then he went to another and said: "I want clothes, give me food" the Idoldidnt do anything, Abu Bakr (r.a.) realized that this is ridiculous, infact took a stone and smackedthe Idol, the Idol basically fell down, Abu Bakr said "I never worshipped an Idol in my life" and thisstory is reverenced with the Story of Prophet Ibrahim (a.s.) that simply looking at the Idol you knowthat this is Batil, you know that is not going to be effective, Abu Bakr (r.a.) even before coming ofIslam, never bow his head down to prostrate to an Idol, this shows us the purity of the Fitra of AbuBakr As-Siddiq, and he was also know threw his life as a gentle, soft hearded, soft spoken man andbecause of this he was beloved amongst the people of the Quraysh, and always people of a gentlenature become beloved, always the modest, the humble people, they are the once that wheremost beloved to the community.

When the Banu Taym, his subtribe whithdurw the protection, you know when the persecutionbegan, the boycott began and Abu Bakr was to migrate to Abysinia as well because his own tribe,his own father took away the protection, so he was gona go, as we say, if you dont have aprotection you dont have a Visa, its like your Visa is gone, you cant live there anymore, he isabout to leave, one of the other chieftain Ibn al-Daghinna said: "You cant leave us, you are theone that are good to the relatives and take care to the orphans and feeds the poor and helps the

one that are in distress" know thes phrases you heard them before, who said that to whom ?Khadija said very similar phrases about the Prophet Mohammad (saw) and Ibn Hajr comments onthis that "It is amazing that 2 different people, Khadija and Ibn al-Daghinna said that same thing toAbu Bakr and Prophet (saw) without having agreed or met and description of this 2 differentpeople which demonstrates that the both of their similarities and characteristics and Akhlaqoverlap with one another", you see the point here, Also as a young man, growing up, Abu Bakr was engaged in trade, and took multiple trips to theRome, the City of Basra (Busra) which is outside of Damascus, multiple time he went there andearned a good amount of wealth and Ibn Saad (the famous Historian in his Tabaqat) "When AbuBakr embraced Islam he owned 14000 Dirhams", that would make him middle class, he is notwealthy and he is not poor, then when he embraced Islam, then he become busy with that, hedidnt earned that type of money he used to, Abu Bakr Siddiq was know for 2 titles that was given to him, first one is Al-Attiq and the 2nd is AsSiddiq, and there are also others, but these 2 are the famous ones,o Al-Attiq (The one who is freed and it also means the old and the first) - there are numbersof opinions that who gave him that title One opinion His mother gave him this title, why? Because she had 2 children beforeAbu Bakr, both died, so when Abu Bakr survived, he was freed from death, Other opinion is that Prophet Mohammad (saw) give him that title in Islam, and thishas his bases in some Ahadith, in one Hadith Musadtrak of Ibn Haqim and Sunnah ofIbn Mansoor with the Sanad Fihidaf it is said that: "Aysha (r.a.) is sitting in the houseof Prophet (saw) and Abu Bakr came to visit, and the Prophet (saw) said: "Who everwants to meet Al-Attiq Minannar (the one who is saved from the Jahannam, look atthis person"- this Hadith is slightly weak but there is an another Hadith in At-Tirmidhithat Prophet (saw) said to Abu Bakr: "Ab Shir" Be happy and rejoice" because "AntaAtiiqulahi Minannar" You are Attiqulah Minannar" You are the one that Allah hassaved from the Fire,Both opinions seems to be correct,o Al-Siddiq - the famous title that is from him, so much so, that we hear that automatically ourminds turns to Abu Bakr, there are many narration that mentions that as his title the mostauthentic one is in Bukhari and Muslim that Prophet Mohammad (saw), Umar and Uthmanclimbing the mountain of Uhud, the mountain climb to rumble, the Prophet pattet it and say : "for the only people to climb you now are a Nabi, A siddiq and two shaheeds, (this is a mutafaqAlahy Hadith) that Prophet Mohammad (saw) is Abu Bakr calling a Siddiq, (that the mostauthentic),o The famous story (in the Seerah) is the story of Isra and Miraj, Prophet (saw) announced that infront of the Kaaba, and the people began to guise him, and ridiculed him and a Man come (andsaid to Abu Bakr) in order to draught him he says: "You know what you companion just said" hesaid that he gone back to Jerusalem and he came back in the same Night, and Abu Bakr said: "If hesaid this, then he is spoken the truth", if he said this, because i dont know who you are, I canttrust you ,this man said: "Will you believe him and he claims to gone to Jerusalem and come backin 1 night" and Abu Bakr said: I believe him in something more incredulous and amazing than this,I believe him when he says that the wahy comes to him morning and evening, what is the big dealif I believe him that he come from there and go there in the same night" - and of this incidents thetitle As-Siddiq comes to him,o There are also other narrations about the Title "Al-Siddiq" of him, there is a Hadith in SahihMuslim: "One the Prophet Mohammad (saw) was sitting in the gathering in the Masjid and AbuBakr came rushing into the masjid, with his Izaar raises up, and Prophet Mohammad (saw) lookedat Abu Bakr and said: "Ina Sahibaqum Qad Ghabar" - Your friend (thats what the Arabs say)seems to have an argument now" (you could see the tension in the face of Abu Bakr) when hecame to the gathering he greeted the Prophet (saw) and said: "Ya Rasullallah, something happenbetween me and Umar Ibn Al Khattab, and my soul got the better of me"; (i couldnt control mytongue) then i regretted it, I asked him to forgive me, but he refuses to forgive me, so I came toyou", he comes to the Prophet (saw) and tells him the story, and the Prophet (saw) said:"Ghafarallah Laka Aba Bakr" You dont have to come to me, Allah has forgiven you" thatsamazing, saying that without even listening the side of Umar, then in the main time Umar (r.a.)temper comes down, and he began to regred: "That i should have forgiven, I should havent beenso hot temper that Abu Bakr is asking and telling me Im sorry, and im say that i not gona forgive

you, he said sorry", Umar Ibn Al Khattab went to the House of Abu Bakr (r.a.) knocked on thedoor, he is not there right know, he things he must be in the Masjid, and there is Abu Bakr and theProphet (saw) sitting and Abu Bakr says Salam and the Prophet (saw) s face is clearly irritatedwith Umar and Umar sits down terrified and his face still remains angry with Umar and Abu Bakrsensing the tension, gets up on his knees and say (he feels sorry for Umars: "Ya Rasullah, I wasthe one who was in the Error of the 2" meaning I said things that i should have said"; - (howamazing is this hadith, beautiful , how many benefit you can extract of this one hadith, simplest isthat the sahabas are human beings, even if you are Abu Bakr and Umar, you gonna have wordsbetween you, even tough they were the best of the friends, but still even in the best of friendsyou have kalam, some back and forth, so both of them got lil bit temper, but what is the rolemodel that they demonstrate, the both of them calm down immidialty, they resolve the conflict,not continue the conflict, when they fought they demonstrate such kind of manners, we alsonotice Abu Bakrs tenderness, that he feels sorry for Umar now, he actually tells the Prophet (saw)I did more more wrong, even tough we dont know the real thing, nonderles umars temper isumars temper, and at this the Prophet (saw) said: "Allah (swt) send me to you, while and all ofyou is saying that the Prophet (saw) is lieng, only Abu Bakr said he is speaking the truth (saddaqa)from that we get the point of siddiq, and it is abu bakr who has made me his partner with himselfand his wealth, (in another hadith he said: Nobody money has benefitet me like the money of AbuBakr, and then he said: "Fahalla tariqum bihi safihi" why dont you leave my sahib (companion)alone, and he is speaking to direct reference to Umar (r.a.) but there is no comparison betweenAbu Bakr and Umar, and so after this nobody cross pats with Abu Bakr in a negative Manner,Al Auwah - turning to Allah all the time, Al Atqa - to one with the most Taqwa (and allah revealedthis verse for Abu Bakr AL-Siddiq "Wasah he is the most noble person after prophet Mohammad(saw)

The Family of Abu Bakr (his wifes and his children):

o

He was married to 4 women over his lifetime, and he has 6 children (3 sons and 3 daughters) verysimple, The first wife (was divorced in the time of jahiliya) her name was Qutaila Binte Abdul Uzzaand Qutaila most likely dont embraced islam (there is no reference) and from her he has 1son and 1 daughter (these are the elders of them) the first son was Abdullah, Abdullah binAbu Bakr, we mentioned in in the Seerah, hiding in the cave (ghare saur) Abdullah was theone, who would report, from the people of makkah and came back, that the Abdullah, soAbdullah when the Hijra takes place maybe he was 11, 12, 13 , he wasnt a man when theHijra takes place, that Abdullah (btw) not much is mentioned about him in the Books ofseerah, it appear that he didnt play that active role, in early Islam, there is no mention ofhim in Badr and Uhud, and he clearly embraced Islam, he did the Hijra, he brought UmeRuman (his stepmother, mother of Aysha) along with Aysha and his sister Asma (asma andabddallah are foul) so he is the one who brought them to madiniah, he was converted toislam, but it is mentioned that he participate in the battle of Taif and he was severelyinjured in the battle of Taif and that injury let him make to his long sickness and death, hewas sick for over 2 years, after the battle of taif, and he died in the Khilafa of Abu Bakr,after the death of Prophet (saw) within few weeks he died, Abdullah passed away rightafter Prophet (saw) within few weeks, - not much is mentioned in the books of seerahabout him, Asma Binte Abi Bakr (Abdullah younger sister) mother is Qutaila, and she has a veryprominent role, her title was, Dhat an Nitaqayn (the one of 2 belts) he know that her

mother didnt embrace Islam for a very long period, because in Sahih Muslim weread that Asma was in Madinah, when her mother Qutaila comes to visit her,initially she refused to accepts gifts from her, or allow her to her own house,(thinking that is not allowed for an idol worshipper to enter the house of a Muslim)then Allah revealed in the Quran the famous verse of Surah Al Mumtahina(Surah 60, Verse 8):

Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion anddo not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and actingjustly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justlyThen she (Asma Binte Abi Bakr) accepted her mothers gifs and allowed her to come intoher house, which means Up unto late Madinah, she was not a Muslim, then there is nomentioned of her after that, so this is why the scholars different we dont not, that doesntseems to be any occasion that she embraced Islam, so Abu Bakr divorced her in the Days ofJahiliah,Umme Ruman (The Wife that he had when Islam came) Umme Ruman Binte Uaymir was aanother lady from the Quraysh and she was also a mother from a boy and a Girl, and thisboy and Girl are Aysha and Abdur Rahman, and Umme Ruman passed away in the 6th Yearof the Hijra, so Prophet (saw) prayed the Jannaza over her, she passed away in Madinah (inthe time of prophet saw) thats the mother in law, he is already married to Aysha, and sheis also mentioned in the incident of the slander,Abdur Rahman is Aysha full brother, and he was the one in the incident of Farewell Hajj, hewas the one who companied her in the Taniim, Masjid Aysha, and took her back to Makkahto do an another Umrah,3rd wife of Abu Bakr is the wife of Jaffar, Asma Binte Umais, (on of those amazing lady ofthe history of Islam) she was married to Jaffar Ibn Abi Talib, (he dies in Battle of Mutah) soAbu Bakr proposes her, so she marries Abu Bakr, and these are of course the Banu Hashim(the cousins of Prophet (saw) and then she marries Abu Bakr, anf from Abu Bakr she has ason, and this son was born in Hajja tul Wadaah, and his incident is the narration of muchFiqh, of Pregnant Ladys in Ihram, from this incident, thats why she is mentioned in Bukhariand Muslim, another is that Asma Binte Umais give birth to Muhammad Ibn Abi Bakr, inHajjatul Wadaa - that was the only child born to Asma and btw so than Abu Bakr diesobviously Asma is still a relatively young lady who then she marry - Ali Ibn Abi Talib, shewas the only lady to married to 2 Khalifas, and from both of them she had children, andfrom Jaffar she had children, (she had children from Jaffar, Ali and Abu Bakr) and theinteresting thing when Ali marries her, Mohammad is 4 or 5 years old, Mohammad growsup in the household of Ali (r.a.) as a stepson, Ali and Mohammad Ibn Abi Bakr had a verystrong bound together, (now you are understand why Im saying this, there are tensionthat some groups have between Ali and Abu Bakr, they say they where tensions, do we(Sunnis believe that where tensions, NO); there are Million and 1 evidences but of thesimplest evidences Ali marries the Widow of Abu Bakr As Siddiq, and the child of Abu Bakris raised like his own son, how could he had anything against Abu Bakr, when he is marryingher and Mohammad Abu Bakrs son is raised in his household like a son, then whenMohammad becomes a full adult, Ali appoints him the governor of Egypt, how could hehave anything against Abu Bakr (think about that) right? that is one of millions of thingsthat, if you look at the history it is wallahi Impossible to construct that Ali (r.a.) hadproblems with Abu Bakr and Umar, i. mean Umar Ibn Khattab marry Alis daughter, Alibecomes the Father in Law, Umar proposes the daughter of Ali Umme Qulthum, and Aligives his daughter in Marriage, now you tell me, how you give your daughter to animosity,can you give a daughter of somebody that do you think that he is an enemy of hismessenger, in early Islam it is impossible to hold this view,(btw. this Person Muhammad Ibn Abi Bakr there are some controversies surrounding him,there are some controversies surround him, thats why I dont want to to go into theDetails, because there stories harm more then benefit, it is said (I just mentions thattidbits, inshallah it is not true) some alleged that he participate with the mobs againstUthman (r.a.) but other Books such as as-Suyt , the story that is in that book (and other

before him also mentioned) that when Uthman saw Muhammad Ibn Abi Bakr in his house,he said to Mohammad: If your father where here right now, he would be very angry withyou, he would be very disappointed what you are doing - according to one report, whenhe said this, Mohammad Ibn Abi Bakr felt so bad, then he left,(that is one of the reasons because I dont like talk to much about it, and that are the minorissue, there are much more difficult issues) because in the end of the day, I say this asexplicit as possible, the Sahaba are humans and there

is not like the

of

our Prophet (saw), the prophet (saw is also an human but his is sanctioned byAllah, we have to defend the Prophet (saw) 100% , everything he said and did, religiouslywe have to, we cannot find 1 fault with him, if anybody would find fault with Rasullullah(saw) that person is not a Muslim, very explicit here, anybody criticizes Rasullullah (saw),disagrees with something that person is not a Muslim, but the Sahaba is a different story,were not allowed to criticize their sincerity, their love for Islam, but we do not have toagree with each and every interpretation or statement or incident, specially politicaldecision, clear, and that of course is a very fine line because when you start questioningdecisions it is very ease to jump over and question their intensions which is what the othergroup does, whereas for us, we say the sahaba of the Prophet (saw) they had the rightintensions, but maybe they made some mistakes, maybe the temper got the better ofthem, maybe some issue happened that wasnt the wisest, but we dont questions theiroverall commitment to allah and of course Muhammad Binte Abi Bakr is he a Sahabi welldepends, there is a category of Sahaba, that are basically Baby Sahaba, becauseMohammad Ibn Abi Bakr himself, never saw the Prophet (saw), because he was one yearold or 1 years old when the Prophet (saw) passes away, so he is quite not a sahabi yet isis a sahabi, half/half, there is a Mukhadram, a category, there is a special category that isgiven to them and this category is basically, the children (meaning not 7, 8 years old, if youare this age and you saw the prophet saw you are a sahabi, if you remember seeing theprophet saw you are a sahabi) otherwise Hassan and Hussain are sahaba but they wherestill not Baligh , but Mohammad Ibn Abi Bakr has no more connection with the Prophet(saw) so he is a category who calls Mukhadram that you are not quite the full sahabi,your not quite the taabyi, some people said he is the highest level of Tabiuun and that isthe correct position that the Mukhadramun are the highest level of the Tabiyun, that theProphet (saw) saw them but they did not recall seeing the Prophet (saw), he married Asmaand he also married another lady,so Abu Bakr As Siddiq had never 4 ladys at one, he had one, then one, and then 2, basicallyat the end of his life he had 2 wifes, and the 4 th and the final of his wife (the only nonQureshy Wife), the other 3 are all Qureshi (the other 3 are from Makkah) the only wife ofhis who is from Madinah was Habibe Binte Kharija from AL-Ansariya, and he married her inMadinah, and this was the wife that he was with, when the Prophet (saw) passed away,(remember in the morning the Prophet (saw) appeared to be better, in the Fajr of theMonday, and Abu Bakr and everybody thought he was much better now, so he had beencamping in the Masjid, for a week as we said, and he asked permission for the Prophet(saw) that Can I no go and visit Habiba Binte Kharija and so he gave permission to go, thenews of the Prophet Mohammad (saw) death came, when he was in the house of HabibaBinte Kharija and her house was also in the district of Madinah called auwali (I always likedto mentioned this because I live in Auwali at that time, when we lived in Madinah) so AbuBakrs house of Habibah was in Auwali, and Abu Bakr on his death bed said to Aysha (r.a.):Oh Aysha I commend you my wasiya to you is to take care of the 2 younger Brothers andyour 2 younger sisters so Aysha said: I only have one sister, who is the other sister, andAbu Bakr said: Habiba is pregnant (Aysha did not know that) , I have a premonition, thatshe will give birth to a girl; and thats exactly what happened, that after the death of AbuBakr, Habiba Binte Kharija give birth to a girl, so this girl was born when Abu Bakr has died,and this Girl called Umme Qulhtum, so this child is the 6 th and the final child of Abu BakrAs-Siddiq, - once again let us go over again over his children:

We have to finish here, but 1 interesting point then we conclude:

Of the interesting points is that Abu Bakrs family, is the only family that we know of that embraced Islam fromMakkah in his entirety without a single non Muslim, Abu Bakrs mother and his father, Abu Bakrs wife at theTime when Islam came, and of course his future wives, and all of Abu Bakrs children, there is no other Sahabiwho can claimed this, at least one person, either the mother or the father (go and look it up, Umar Ibn AlKhattab, Asma) all have 1 or 2, so Abu Bakrs family is a family of Imaan, it is not just Abu Bakr, everybodyembraced Islam in the emidied family without exception and that is the case of only Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, also ofthe peculiarity of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq is that in his family he is the only person who is sahabi for 4 generations,there is no Sahabi other than the family of Abu Bakr and this is who, that is Abdullah Ibn Zubair (from hismothers side his grandfather is Abu Bakr), so his mother is Asma, when was Abdullah Ibn Zubair born? as soonas Asma arrived in Madinah the first baby was born, even before Masjid AL-Quba was build, and the Muslimsrejoiced at his birth, because they took that as a good omen, (we as Muslims are allowed to believe in goodomens) and because the Quraish has predicted that if you leave us, Allah will not give you any children, and sothe Day that they arrived in Madinah Allah blessed them with a child, and that child is the grandson of Abu Bakr(throw his daughter Asma) Abdullah Ibn Zubair, the son of Asma, she is the daughter of Abu Bakr and Abu Bakris the Son of Abu Quhafa, these are the 4 generation,.As for Muhammad Ibn Abi Bakr, he is only 3 generation,Q&AHas Abu Bakr brothers and sisters?Abu Bakr have half brothers and sister, not full and non of them are playing a major role, NO full brothers andsisters

When yousay saw, what if the person (sahabi) was blind, such as Ibn Ume Maqtum, so the word Sahabi, there is a bigcontroversy in early Islam, about what is a definition of a sahibi and that are over 10 opinions and what laterSunni Scholars have basically agreed to, there was a controversy in very early Islam, why because, (this is anAcademic Point, thats not Harmfull Inshallah), think about the Beduoin who urinated in the Masjid, he istechnically also a Sahabi, so we as innocent Muslims say the word sahabi, we think automatically on Abu Bakrand Umar, but forget the fact the over 100.000 People saw the Prophet Mohammad (saw) in his life, and theBulk of them are not like Abu Bakr and Umar, the People who called out behind the house of ProphetMohammad (saw) that come out and meet us, and Allah revealed Surah Al-Hujarat, they are Muslims and theyare sahabi, many of the early scholars where hesitant to called that group SAHABA one opinion of them is thata SAHABI is only those who participated in the GHAZWA with the Prophet (saw) or a SAHABI is oneaccompanied the Prophet (saw) for a period of time, because these Delegates come and met him for 10minutes and thats it, the Bedouin urinates and goes then away, thats not accompanying thats visiting, someof the early scholars say you have to live with the Prophet (saw) few months like that,so later scholars say, KHALAS anybody who saw the Prophet (saw) gets the status of a SAHABI and they are thepoints of later Sunni Scholars, so anybody accompanied the Prophet (saw) as a Muslim, that a anothercondition, because when you accompanied him as a non Muslim, that doesnt make you a SAHABI and thereare some unique and bizarre situation where some people do not remember accompanied the Prophet (saw) they are called MUQHADRAMOON , some people very few saw the Prophet (saw) as a NON-MUSLIM and laterembraced Islam, and these are NOT SAHABA, - a example of them is the TANUKHI (the Guy who came as theAmbessary from Hercules, from the Cesar, when the Prophet (saw) said: Accept Islam he Said: Im right nowand ambassador, I cant accept Islam but later he embraced Islam, he is one of those who is very rare peoplewho saw the Prophet (saw) but not considers as a sahabi, and there are also people who saw the Prophet (saw)- there a person who came to Madinah to basically become a sahabi and the Prophet (saw) passed away and hearrived Monday so he prayed the Janaza, so he saw the Body of the Prophet (saw) but we dont considered himas a SAHABI, - there are some interesting areas there.To be continued in Part 2END AT 1:11:14
